Ocaso Syrah 2014
About the wine
The ultimate crowd-pleaser
- There's nothing about this wine you won't love. Great for weddings, bar mitzvahs and general get-togethers.
- If you've never had an Argentinean Shiraz then, kid, you ain't lived.
- What Patricio can do to this grape is as inexplicable as what Ben & Jerry's can do to a tub of ice-cream.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Patricio Gouguenheim
- Back in the 1990s, Patricio had a hunch. And so he gave up his prosperous career as a city banker and spent his life savings on an old vineyard. Luckily his hunch was right.
- Mendoza is the head of Argentina's wine-making country. Very hot days and very cool nights mean buckets of refined, ripe fruit. It's what Argentina does best.
- One of our original winemakers, Patricio supported us at the beginning. And now we support him. And with all that history, he's kindly kept resisting any price hikes.
